Before RICHARDSON, P.J., and NEWMAN and DEITS, JJ.


RICHARDSON, Presiding Judge.

Claimant seeks review of a Workers' Compensation Board order which affirmed the referee's denial of permanent total disability. Claimant contends that he is permanently and totally disabled and that he was entitled to attorney fees incurred in prevailing on SAIF's request for a reduction in his permanent partial disability award. We affirm the denial of permanent total disability but reverse the denial of attorney fees.
